Beautifully restored farmhouse and grounds in the heart of a picturesque village

Nestled amongst rolling vineyards and sunflower fields, Bay Tree Farmhouse is a stunning 18th-century French farmhouse, fully restored with love and care as our family holiday home.
The village of Macqueville, close to the historical town of Cognac, is renowned for its welcoming Cognac and Pineau vignobles.
With its spacious kitchen, traditional stone-walled rooms, large wood burning fireplaces, and large flood lit private swimming pool, it is a perfect relaxing rural retreat.
• Extra-large kitchen with a wood-burning stove and a traditional farmhouse dining table and benches
• Large relaxing sitting room with a wood burning fireplace and traditional Chinese day-bed centre table, TV/DVD player
• Large second sitting room with a TV/DVD player, perfect for kids to have their “own” time
• Master bedroom with super-sized bed and en-suite, with roll-top bath and walk-through shower, and adjoining babies room with a hand-built wooden cot
• 4 beautifully pointed double bedrooms, and a cosy single bedroom
• A second bathroom with a roll top bath
• A third bathroom with a separate shower
• A large 10mx5m heated swimming pool, nestled behind the arches of the former barn, with out door dining area with a large traditional farmhouse dining table and benches (pool is open from mid-May until mid-September)
• Plenty of parking space, internet throughout the house
Our perfect end to the day is a relaxing glass of wine watching the sunset across the fields, replaced by a jet-black sky emblazoned with stars.

For comfort, there is a maximum limit of 8 adults and up to 4 children, with a minimum age of 25 for the contracting renter.

The house is strictly for individual vacations - no party rentals are permitted.
